sarah jessica parker got twins

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are expecting twin girls via a surrogate, Entertainment Weekly reports.

Both Parker and Broderick's reps confirmed the news.

The "Sex and the City" star and her actor-husband are expecting twins through a surrogate pregnancy, representatives for the couple said Tuesday.

Parker, 44, and Broderick, 47, "are happily anticipating the birth of their twin daughters later this summer with the generous help of a surrogate. The entire family is overjoyed," said a statement from the publicists.

The couple has a 6-year-old son, James Wilkie Broderick, and will mark their 12th wedding anniversary next month.

A friend of the couple told Entertainment Weekly that they have been trying to expand their family since the birth of their 6-year-old son James, but had been unsuccessful.

"They came to the conclusion that this was going to be the best alternative for expanding their family," the friend told Entertainment Weekly.

Details about the surrogate or her pregnancy were unavailable, the publicists said.

Parker starred in the "Sex and the City" TV series and the hit movie of the same name. Broderick's credits include the films "Glory" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and the Broadway musical "The Producers."
